EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 331 B. C. , where we witness a momentous event in history. Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, stands before the majestic Temple of Jupiter Amon in Siwa Oasis, Egypt. As King of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon, he embarked on numerous conquests that would shape the course of civilization. In this enchanting image captured by Ken Welsh and published in Cassells Universal History in 1888, we are transported to a bygone era. The temple's grandeur is beautifully depicted through intricate engravings and historical illustrations. Its significance lies not only in its architectural marvel but also as a sacred site dedicated to Jupiter Ammon (or Amun), an important deity worshipped during that period. Alexander's visit to this revered sanctuary holds great symbolic value. It was here that he sought divine confirmation of his divine parentage and destiny as a conqueror. This encounter with Jupiter Ammon solidified his belief that he was indeed a descendant of gods - an affirmation that fueled his ambition for greatness. As we gaze upon this vintage picture, we cannot help but be captivated by the rich tapestry woven between ancient civilizations and their beliefs. Through archival images like these, we gain insight into pivotal moments from our past and appreciate how they have shaped our present-day world.
